Maybe the person who lost in this race will finally stop running for office every Monday and Thursday??? No one is/has taking him seriously. I’ll leave it at that.
He obviously enjoys it.
Do you think that frum politicians should run unopposed for their lifetime positions?
No. They should have an opponent, but a serious one. A mature candidate. Elections are not like recess fun in elementary school.
Not unopposed. But opposed. Tischler is like Sliwa. A few die hards.
all we have in the sitrict is 20 thousand voters??? Such apathy?
How many voted for Simcha on the Democrat line? How many voted for him on the Conservative line? What’s the difference, after all either way he’s the council member? The difference is what pressures get placed on him by the council leadership. If he’s elected as a Democrat, they tell him he was voted in to push the Democrat party agenda. An agenda that is completely anti Torah. If he get in as a Conservative, that becomes his mandate. Over 80% want a Conservative leaning agenda.
